Bitcoin Crashes Under $113K: Buy Signal or Panic?

Bitcoin Crashes Under $113K: Buy Signal or Panic?

The post Bitcoin Crashes Under $113K: Buy Signal or Panic? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Notes Social sentiment is at its most bearish since the June 22 panic sells. Over $40 billion in Open Interest highlights risky leveraged long positions. Institutions now hold 1.3 million BTC, steadily absorbing supply. On August 19, leading cryptocurrency BTC $113 833 24h volatility: 1.4% Market cap: $2.27 T Vol. 24h: $45.37 B slipped below $113,000, triggering fear in the market. The market is currently experiencing the most bearish sentiment seen since June’s geopolitical turmoil. Yet, while the crowd is bracing for more pain, some argue that history suggests this fear could actually be a buy signal. Social Sentiment Turns Ultra Bearish According to on-chain analytics firm Santiment, retail traders have flipped from extreme optimism to sudden profit-taking after Bitcoin’s failure to bounce. Social sentiment has crashed to levels not seen since June 22, when US airstrikes on Iran sent shockwaves through global markets and triggered a cascade of panic sells. The chart from Santiment highlights a recurring pattern: when the crowd becomes greedy, prices often correct lower, but when fear dominates, prices usually find a floor and bounce. Bitcoin positive vs negative sentiment ratio | Source: Santiment Santiment cited the Bitcoin positive vs negative sentiment ratio chart, suggesting major dates where fear took the market down: On June 22, major fear struck the market amid geopolitical tensions, marking an “optimal dip-buy moment” as prices rebounded shortly after. On July 9, the crowd’s greed coincided with optimism over tariff easing, pushing Bitcoin higher, but the rally later corrected. On August 18, traders piled into dip-buys, expecting a bounce, but the market punished this over-eagerness with another downturn. Similarly, on August 19, the crowd gave up, beginning panic selling, a signal that often precedes actual recovery. Historically, the market tends to move opposite to the crowd’s emotions. For patient investors,…

The Hidden Danger in Your Wallet: Token Approvals Explained

The Hidden Danger in Your Wallet: Token Approvals Explained

The post The Hidden Danger in Your Wallet: Token Approvals Explained appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Discover how Trust Wallet tackles token approval risks with safer UX and tools for 200M+ users. By Eve Lam, CISO at Trust Wallet. The Invisible Risk Lurking in Your Wallet Token approvals are one of the most overlooked threats in Web3. Every time you connect your wallet and authorize a dApp to access your tokens, you’re often granting indefinite access. Over time, these approvals accumulate quietly in the background. Most users don’t even know they exist, and in fact, over $475M stolen since 2020 in reported approval hacks and exploits according to Revoke. This is more than a technical gap in our eyes. It’s more of a UX failure and a security blind spot, and for the next wave of users entering Web3, it’s a risk they shouldn’t have to carry. Leading on safety is a core responsibility for any wallet provider—and with over 15 million monthly active users and more than 200 million downloads, it’s a responsibility Trust Wallet fully embraces. Fixing the token approvals problem is part of that commitment, ensuring stronger protection for everyone who relies on us and helping to build a safer Web3 ecosystem. Why Infinite Approvals Became the Norm When you use a decentralized application (dApp), it can’t move your tokens unless you give permission through a token approval transaction. Approvals let a smart contract spend your tokens on your behalf. Most dApps ask for unlimited approval so you don’t have to approve every time. Once granted, these approvals stay active on-chain until you revoke them. This convenience comes at a cost: token approvals are silent, permanent, and risky by default. Users give dApps unlimited access without realizing it. Wallets rarely show or explain these permissions. Attackers exploit them—often long after the approval is granted. How Approval Risk Builds Over Time Real-world threats often…

October Set To Reshape Crypto ETFs With Key Approvals Ahead

The post October Set To Reshape Crypto ETFs With Key Approvals Ahead appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Nate Geraci predicts the approval of XRP, Solana, and Litecoin ETFs by October 2025. Approval of ETH staking ETFs could pave the way for yield-based crypto investment products. Coordinated October decisions could unleash major institutional capital flows in the market. The cryptocurrency ETF market may be on the verge of a major breakthrough with several approvals expected in the coming months. In his X post, ETF analyst Nate Geraci has predicted that cryptocurrency ETF “floodgates appear set to open in the next two months” as regulatory frameworks near completion for alternative digital asset products. The president of Nova Dius Wealth and co-founder of ETF Institute highlighted that XRP, Solana, and Litecoin ETFs will get faster approvals.  Geraci’s forecast comes as the SEC has clustered all pending cryptocurrency ETF decisions into October 2025 deadlines, creating a structure for simultaneous approvals across multiple digital assets. His prediction suggests confidence that regulatory hurdles preventing alternative crypto ETF launches will be resolved within the timeline. Spot crypto ETF floodgates appear set to open in next two months… Xrp, sol, ltc, etcetera ETFs. Full regulatory framework should be in place for spot crypto ETFs. Spot eth ETF staking approval any day now IMO. Clarity Act now in Senate. Remainder of year should be wild. — Nate Geraci (@NateGeraci) August 20, 2025 Staking Features and Legislative Progress Drive Optimism The ETF expert pointed out that spot Ethereum ETF staking approval could be done soon, thus allowing yield generation for existing Ethereum investment products. This development could set a precedent for staking features across other proof-of-stake cryptocurrency ETFs under consideration. The combination of staking approvals and legislative progress suggests the regulatory environment is changing toward accommodation rather than restriction of cryptocurrency investment products. This transition could allow features and asset classes previously considered too risky or unclear…
